Answer: D

Ques. If for some reason the parietal cells of the gut epithelium become partially non-functional, what is likely to happen?
(a) The pancreatic enzymes and specially the trypsin and lipase will not work efficiently.
(b) The pH of stomach will fall abruptly.
(c) Steapsin will be more effective.

Ques. Which one of the following pairs of food components in humans reaches the stomach totally undigested ?

(c) Starch and cellulose (d) Protein and starch

Answer: B

Ques. What will happen if the secretion of parietal cells of gastric glands is blocked with an inhibitor?
(a) In the absence of HCl secretion, inactive pepsinogen is not converted into the active enzyme pepsin.
(b) Enterokinase will not be released from the duodenal mucosa and so trypsinogen is not converted to trypsin.
(c) Gastric juice will be deficient in chymosin.
(d) Gastric juice will be deficient in pepsinogen.

Answer: A
